Currify on Patriot Viper 4 Blackout DDR4 RAM 16GB (2x8GB) 4133MHz Kit $130.14 Shipped @ Patriot Memory Amazon AU

Memory speed matters to a point. Currently it definitely matters more for AMD parts then it does Intel parts. It's one of those components...

BROKENKEYBOARD on Patriot Viper 4 Blackout DDR4 RAM 16GB (2x8GB) 4133MHz Kit $130.14 Shipped @ Patriot Memory Amazon AU

Should be noted that RAM can be run at lower than advertised speeds. It's not an all or nothing proposal. So if you wanted to run this at...

Osprey87 commented on [Pre Order] Leadtek GeForce RTX 3080 HURRICANE $1479 + Delivery (Free C&C) @ CPL Online
Leadtek is still alive? Haven't seen their cards in Australia for years. My first ever graphics cards was a Leadtek WinFast A380 Ultra.

Osprey87 commented on PNY GeForce RTX 3090 XLR8 Gaming Video Card, 24GB, Triple Fan, RGB $2599 + Shipping @ Kogan
Usually I hate PNY designs. This actually looks pretty good. Not read any reviews on its actual performance but it's better looking then...

Osprey87 commented on AudioQuest DragonFly RED USB DAC $280.18 (RRP $359) + Delivery (Free with Prime) @ Amazon UK via AU
Think something like the FiiO BTR5 is a more versatile and better product at a cheaper price.

Cataclysm on Gigabyte X570 AORUS ELITE Wi-Fi AMD AM4 ATX Motherboard $289 + Delivery @ Shopping Express

Bit of weird question. So an ATX motherboard (like this motherboard) will fit in any ATX compatible cases. When buying a case you want to...

Ryxxi on EVGA Nu Audio Card $249.71 + $14.21 Delivery (Free with Prime) @ Amazon US via AU

Should be noted that a lot of popular DACs will be out of stock for a while soon. AKM had a factory fire that has wiped out all production...

Cooler uses non standard fan clips. Don't know if you can actually replace the fans, maybe standard fan clips work but haven't seen anyone...

I really dislike the aesthetic design of this cooler. But at this price the price/performance ratio makes it such a great bargain.

Quick Sync. It's a good technology which definitely has niche use cases. I think it's pretty heavily used in Plex servers. But assuming...

Intel and Nvidia nearly always have launch issues. Just refer to the massive amounts of coverage of RTX 3000 crash to desktop reports. We...

People will make 5600x comments because the 5600x is the better overall CPU. Gaming performance is the same, workstation performance is...

My issue mainly is that it's not a $1100 bat. All these importers of Indian domestic market bats just make up those prices to make it seem...

They still have some really good headphones and amps at reasonable prices. HD6XX is still one of the best headphones you can get at that...

king snake on [eBay Plus] Gigabyte RTX2070 SUPER 8GB WINDFORCE OC 3X for $584.10 Delivered @ Computer Alliance

People who don't have $1000+ to spend on a GPU. That's pretty simple. You need to weigh up desired resolution, budget, and the cost per...

Shard on Corsair A500 High Performance Dual Fan CPU Cooler $55.78 + Delivery ($0 with Prime) @ Amazon UK via AU

Good deal for $55. It's now up against much smaller coolers like the Hyper 212. So you should be able to reduce the fan RPM to bring it...

dwarves on GM 909 NOIR Cricket Bat + Bonus Knocking - $495 Delivered @ Sturdy Sports

That's an older year model so it should be cheaper realistically (edit: Nope it's just a bad photo). Both the one you linked and the one...

Osprey87 was awarded a badge.

Deal for a Intel i9-10850K, a slightly cheaper alternative to the 10900K for those looking at that CPU. Performs pretty much identically to...

hmmz on HyperX Fury 16GB 2666MHz DDR4 CL16 DIMM Black $87.15 + Delivery (Free with Prime) @ Amazon US via AU

Agreed. You can get faster RAM for the same price. Plenty of 3000 - 3200 mhz options for about $95 at the moment. RAM prices have dropped...
